Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Higher rainfall. Suburbs close to Table Mountain get much more rain than the Cape Town average, so walls stay wet for longer.
- Shade. Mountain shadow and large trees keep some walls and rooms cold in winter, which slows drying and favours mould.
- Sloping plots. Split levels and retaining walls need waterproofing and drainage on the soil side.
- Estates and complexes. Many need HOA or body corporate approval, contractor access forms and set work hours.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.
